Updating the Firmware and Driver Figure 77. Update Utility Showing Only Firmware Available Only the firmware is available, because the driver image was not found. Note: If you have multiple controllers in your system, your screen will look slightly different, so that you can update the firmware for one or all controllers. For details, see "Using the Update Utility With Multiple Controllers" on page 188 6 In the Action section of the dialog, make any changes to what will be updated and click Continue to install your selections. During the update, the driver installs on your local drive. The firmware will first download and then will flash a new image to the controller. You will see either one or two progress dialog boxes, depending on what is being installed. Progress is shown during: • Driver installation • Firmware download and flashing of the controller Warning: Do not power off the system while the firmware is being flashed. Doing so will render the controller unusable. 7 If a dialog box prompts you to restart or power-cycle your computer, click Yes to do so. (If you were working from a driver diskette, be sure to remove the floppy diskette before Windows starts again.) www.3ware.com 187
